And emanuel mccrum go head to head as the nato summit begins in a rare admission that irans government concedes people were shot and killed a during novembers fuel price protests. And im leo hardy and doha with all the d. C. Sport boxers and here is jr and Anthony Joshua work out for the 1st time in the saudi capital riyadh ahead of saturdays heavyweight rematch. Thanks for joining us we begin the news hour in the u. S. Where House Democrats have released their much anticipated report laying out the case for the impeachment of donald trump the report says the u. S. President who was meeting nato leaders in london use the powers of his office to solicit foreign interference on his behalf in the 2020 lection it says the phone call between trump and the ukrainian president was a dramatic crescendo of a months Long Campaign to extract what it called personal political benefits well the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee spoke shortly after the report was released. We now can see the veneer has been torn away just why secretary palm pail and President Donald Trump do not want any of these documents provided to congress because apparently they show as a vast dishonest testified that the knowledge of this scheme to condition official acts a white house meeting and 400000000 in Security Assistance to an ally of war with russia was conditioned on political favors the president wanted for his reelection. Lets cross live now to high to show castro who joins us from capitol hill the adam schiff of course said many things during that News Conference for the release of the report he also said if congress doesnt punish trump for seeking foreign election interference quote we are begging for more of the same so in light of that what are we likely to see happen over the coming days and weeks. Well this very evening barbara is when we expect the committee that out of ship leave the House Intelligence Committee to officially transfer this 300 page report on to the Judiciary Committee the significance of that is because the Judiciary Committee is the body that will draft these articles of impeachment in essence the indictments the charges if you will that trump will face if he indeed is impeached by the full house body at this point democrats are going on the record to say that they will officially impeach him but all signs are pointing to them indeed having the numbers to cast that vote by the time christmas is here adam schiff went on different say more during this press conference earlier today trying to give the context of this report saying this is historical this is something that the founders of the United States had envisioned in their crafting of the constitution he said which made impeachment an important part about holding the president accountable and this report drafted by his Committee Goes on to say that the president engaged in this course of conduct conditioning official acts including inviting the president of ukraine to the white house and 400000000. 00 of security aid to ukraine conditioning those official acts on getting ukraine to publicly announce investigations into trumps political rivals which democrats say was all intended to benefit trumps reelection and they on they go on to say that in doing so the president placed his own personal and political interests above the National Interests of the United States now were hearing obviously a very different phrasing of these events from republicans and from the president himself who has denied all wrongdoing as a shift was addressing reporters today trump said that shifts was in his words to arranged and the white house also issuing a statement pushing back. On this report and republicans on the same Committee Also delivered a report yesterday that laid out the same events but saw them in very different ways saying that this was the president carrying out his official duty and that he had the corroborative to do so how does your pastor with the latest for us from capitol hill heidi for the moment thank you. Were president right now is in london for the nato meeting and cracks are beginning to appear in the worlds biggest Alliance World leaders as i said are in the british capital for the 70th anniversary of nato and divisions among the nations are now becoming clear u. S. President donald trump the french president manuel macross clashed on several points including the role of nato and the return of foreign fighters from syria our diplomatic editor james bays begins our coverage. Its supposed to be nato 70th birthday but theres no celebration instead an atmosphere of disagreement and division with the u. S. President who once called the Alliance Obsolete now saying he fears that france might leave nato and i heard the president say you know to break here i think its very sobering to a lot of different were. Very proud. When you make a Statement Like that is a very very very nasty statement to essentially 20. 1 of the countries those comments were particularly pointed as President Trumps next Public Meeting was with the french president there were uncomfortable moments when they were asked about European Countries including france not taking back their nationals no prisoners in syria having fought for eisel. This. Is. What you were looking at. Her in october i discovered that mom im on this coming from. Iran really. Is through this for i mean you wrote this is all of this you have the big number one problem of the 4 and 5 this is the fine print. And you have one more bite you says he. This is where he swears politician is that was one of the great khali answers. Ok the trouble disagreements are not the only ones at this summit the french leader attacked turkey because of its recent incursion targeting that could see in northern syria. This indeed i feel will be on duty. We needed to keep. Faith no fines against those who fight with. Charlatans. Turkeys present one later met with his u. K. Host Prime Minister johnson as well as president macro and the german chancellor merkel hes threatening to block nato has plans to protect poland and the Baltic States unless others agree with him on syria. Or james is outside Buckingham Palace where the queen hosted the nato leader is at a reception as so james divisions within nato are nothing new but how bad are the cracks this time i think theyre pretty bad barbara yes youre right theres always been questions about nato in the future of nato the 1st one of these summits i covered was last time there was one in london that was 29 years ago questions about the future of nato then but its the fact its all out there in the open and there are so many different divisions between these leaders between there you saw mccraw and trump trump versus the rest with regard to the budget bringing in global trade to all of it versus the rest when it comes to syria also one thing that perhaps we havent reported much on is the growing tension i think between mccraw and merkel about the european role in nato the certainly has problems in that relationship and of course you have the u. K. Here as the hosts of the time of a general election in the tension over brics it was some of the other european nations there are so many divisions right now it seems that the Nato Alliance is a multi dimensional mess james ways with the latest there from outside Buckingham Palace with an eating disorder little earlier james thank you. Well the nato leaders have just left a reception at the residence of the u. K. Prime minister paul brennan is there and joins us now so what do you think they would have been talking about theyre for. Well i think the for 3 way tension between the president s of france america and turkey has clearly been playing on everybodys minds on the eve of the main event which takes place on wednesday north of london it was kind of played out in a microcosm the arrival of the president s cavalcade of the italian french and american president s appear to arrive simultaneously and the french president will not go on was standing on the pavement right next to President Trump some media because of the confusion almost believing that perhaps President Trump it actually given a lift you know given a right to the french president which would have been extraordinary indeed given the language that the 2 men were using towards each other on the day in fact they arrive separately what happened then was the president macro went in then the italian president went in and President Trump was left with milan youre standing on the Pavement Outside for a good 5 minutes in the cold of a british december it was unusual let me say that now it doesnt matter if it was down to some kind of confusion as to the protocols of arrival or whether it was just just deliberate as far as timing goes as far as the actual event itself weve been given very Little Information about what went on inside it lasted an hour the details of the menu any high fat but the leaders left without saying anything at all and President Trump was asked by one correspondent who shouted from this side of the barriers at the president about the events and the impeachment inquiry in washington where the president got into the beast his large vehicle without answering any of those questions so all attention now moves forward to wednesday and the main nato meeting itself open with the latest there from 10 downing st paul thank you. All coming up on aljazeera this news hour at the same yemen how the war has affected Health Services for those. Most plus were in the eastern democratic republic of congo where hospitals are struggling to help those caught up in the violence and were going to hear from the new tottenham coach. As he prepares to face the club thats a year ago. But 1st the rainiest state t. V. Is like knowledge for the 1st time that people it describes as rioters were shot and killed during recent protests thousands of people joined demonstrations angry over an increase in petrol prices human Rights Groups say that as many as 200 people were killed as one hour from tehran. Iran has acknowledged what many here already know the Security Services killed protesters during demonstrations last month my son and that in just 8 Media Broadcast the iranian governments side its report describes some of those involved in the protests as writers and thugs armed with firearms and knives in the southwestern city of musharraf there are media reports alleging a massacre took place but you ron says they were dealing with separatist elements who had an ulterior motive i got a new one is only ones own you know blood xin if the military forces and police didnt interfere not only the law ives of people in this region would have been in danger but also the imports of essential goods into the country from port would have been jeopardized since the number of trucks had been reduced to 400 a day this caused the Security Forces and the police to get involved to protect peace for the people the authorities insist some protesters were armed and were firing at Security Services. To the rights are where the hostile groups are hiding is shooting at the police but thank god their own forces vigilantly came to the fields and foiled their plot. Its still unclear how many people were killed amnesty. National say its more than 200 a figure the government rejects said i have done it on the front i can tell you that the numbers and figures given by hostile groups about the deaths in irans recent protests a shia lies real statistics seriously different from what they announce and numbers a far less than what they climbed. But United States President Donald Trump had his own figures iran is killing perhaps thousands and thousands of people right now as we speak thats where they got off the internet so they go to the internet for people to see whats going on the violence is the worst the country has witnessed for decades the u. S. Presence intervention will not be welcome here in iran it will further a few of the governments claim that forces were behind some of the troubles theres a feeling here that the actual number of those killed will eventually be known for now the rain and government says Security Forces acted to protect lives but some Peaceful Protesters were also killed in what they called suspicious circumstances. Aljazeera that wrong. Frances foreign minister says there will be a strong response if the u. S. Hits luxury french goods with tariffs of up to 100 percent the u. S. Is proposing tariffs on 2400000000. 00 of french goods including champagne cheese handbags and cosmetics they say its in retaliation for a 3 percent digital tax on tech firms earning more than 27000000. 00 in revenue in france that will impact around 30 Companies Including google amazon and facebook french luxury stocks dropped following the announcement jeremys and caring of the owners of gucci dipped to 1. 7 percent in paris but french and european firms continue to dominate the market thought has just acquired tiffanys the iconic American Jewelry brand for almost 17000000000. 00 their share price dropped almost 2 percent following the u.

Trade Officials Say that these terrorists would be in retaliation for frances Digital Services tax now this is a tax on a big take companies but the president of the United States donald trump says that this tax is simply unfair and discriminates against big u. S. Firms such as google and facebook well donald trump had an opportunity to discuss this with the french president emanuel micron the sidelines of the nato summit in london where it was quite clear that the 2 do not see eye to eye. The earned income tax cuts. Theyre not only very fearful because theyre not exactly for me. Here theyre very. We want yes. We want. So the surface of your subjects. Can present us with a text why. Should we rather not do that but thats the way it works for my part im determined defend the interests of my country and of the European Union and i do so with the greatest respect for the United States of america for several e. U. Countries including spain the United Kingdom and italy are also looking at imposing a similar Digital Services tax to the one that france has put in place but there is no doubt that this dispute between the u. S. And france really has further soured relations between the 2 countries. At least 5 people have been killed in and t. Un protests in the eastern democratic republic of congo a Police Officer is among the dead that. The city of beni where local people accuse the Un Peacekeeping force thats. Of failing to protect them against a notorious armed group the allied Democratic Forces or a. D. F. Catherine sawyer reports from goma. And the doctors at the main hospital in the eastern city of beni are treating patients with. Someone participating in a protestant that was violently dispatched by congolese soldiers on monday the doctors say several need marches the surgery to libya. We received 7 patients from. The shots in the head and died in the night 3 are in critical condition. Also in the hospital of victims of recent attacks by the allied Democratic Forces or rebels well it killed more than 100 people in one month and up to 2000 over the last by the lives of. Her 3 children and 3 other relatives were killed during one of the latest attacks by remaining sand was to. Try to run during the attacks but some of the attackers say they would protect us. Then they stopped my husband and killed him and then our children. 2 children watched their parents as they were hacked to death. Its such scenes that are causing anger on the streets of. Protesters accuse the u. N. Mission and Government Forces of not doing enough to protect them from rebel attacks on the u. S. People have also been protesting in provisional capital. They say the security situation is not acceptable the army has want to keep off the streets saying people have joined from. The provisional government. But some protesters are armed with machetes and. We know that because. For the Security Forces. And the group has caused a lot of harm and its causing within the population but. Even some politicians telling the group by my to join in the protests the only solution is to support the military but the sentiment by many protesters is that they would. Here are angry by the military claiming that the protests in beni have been infiltrated by armed people they say theyre trying to vilify the protesters and deflect attention of what is really going on in that region they say there is genuine anger and frustration about the state of security and this is an issue that needs to be addressed i gently catherine aljazeera. The World Health Organization say that efforts to eliminate measles globally have moved backwards as the death toll in someones outbreak continues to rise 55. 00 people have died since the epidemic started in mid october 50 of those are children under the age of 4 some one has low immunization rates of just over 30 percent and the government has responded to this outbreak by making vaccinations compulsory but the crisis still shows no immediate sign of slowing down 153 new cases have been recorded just in the past 24 hours and that brings the number of cases in the south break for most 4000 in a population of 200000 people cross live now to jessica washington who is at a vaccination clinic in that someone capital apia now jessica good to see a lot of this started because a vaccine that was badly wrongly mixed ended up killing a few children and of course a lot of people lost trust in the vaccine so how is the Vaccination Campaign progressing now. Barbro the Vaccination Campaign is well underway since the outbreak began since a state of emergency was declared in the middle of november almost 6000 people have been vaccinated the message has been sent loud and clear to the public that it is not the measles vaccine that is unsafe but it is unsafe to be unvaccinated at this particular moment the efforts have been driven by nongovernment organizations such as the red cross but also by Public Health workers now initially when the outbreak began in mid october the focus was very much on making sure that children aged between 6 months to 4 years old well thats the one to since then as the crisis has become more apparent that focus has now shifted the message is now that everyone under the age of 60 needs to get vaccinated and that is the key message of this compulsory Vaccination Program and it is showing signs of success we know that children who are in that most vulnerable age group of under 4 years old 70 percent of them on now vaccinated but there are still steps to be taken and efforts are still continuing to make sure that the rest of the population does get that crucial measles mumps and rubella vaccination because its shocking when you look at the numbers of the 55 people that have died 50 were children under 4 so Young Children obviously the most vulnerable or same people get vaccinated right behind you as youre speaking to us but how are authorities ramping up their efforts across the countrys largest the Vaccination Centers but really convincing people to to get vaccinated. Well we have seen barbara the efforts really have been amped up actually just in this past week earlier in the wake the government announced a complete shutdown of all government offices with the exception of those working in the electricity and Water Utilities septa what that means is all Public Servants will now be redeployed from the usual duty is to be on the front line of efforts to bolster this Vaccination Campaign in addition to what we heard overnight the latest updates from the government is that most private sector businesses will also be shut down the government has said that people are not to drive because roads are to be cleared unless they are in specific industries such as the medical industry or the Communications Industry most businesses will be shut down and the message is to locals to stay in their homes so that these mobile vaccination clinics can actually a arrive at peoples homes check who is vaccinated and who isnt and if there are people within those houses who arent vaccinated they will be given the vaccination within their own health care well lets hope that the vaccinations and all these efforts the yield results very soon jessica washington from the psalm one capital apia thank you.

Extreme weather and then economic crisis of left nearly half of zimbabwes population facing severe hunger the u. N. Is warning that the country is on the brink of starvation with women and children the hardest hit its planning to more than double the number of people that it helps to over 4000000 but as many as 7000000 are in need of aid in the situation is only expected to get worse with little rain expected before the harvest in april or were joined now via skype from johannesburg by gerald burke from the World Food Program in Southern Africa mr burke thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera 1st of all tell us a little bit more what the situation is like in zimbabwe from what you understand. Well its extremely grim its essentially a National Catastrophe as you said half the population almost 8000000. 00 people on the brink of starvation and the causes are essentially a combination of Climate Change particularly drought and economic collapse the the economy is in free fall so those are the 2 main factors zimbabwe has had this one normal rainy season in terms of harvest in the last 5 years as you said that the next growing season is going to be a very dry one so the prospects for the next harvest are also grim so this combination of factors that has millions of people hurting and in need of help. The u. S. Special rocker turned on the right to food he ever had was there in zimbabwe a few days ago on the something she said which really struck a note she said that obviously its affect the Childrens Health and nearly 90 percent of zimbabwe in infants are experiencing malnutrition and stunted growth so this is obviously hitting a whole generation of zimbabwean children what is being done that governmental level about this. Well certainly mounted attrition is is on the rise. It affects people in all kinds of ways. Most families many families cant manage more than one inadequate meal a day food stocks from last aprils harvest that have diminished to the extent that larders are empty that children are being taken out of school because parents cant afford to send them there. There are even reports of increased prostitution. As mothers seek to feed their children the government has committed to supporting about 3000000 of those in need the issue is that food stocks in the country are extremely low there is very little Foreign Exchange to import so. Everybody must pull together the government the World Food Program the International Community donors because this is a crisis of dramatic proportion what impact i mean obviously you know people must be incredibly fearful in pain but what impact do you see among the people of zimbabwe zimbabwe do you think that there is the risk of civil unrest over this. Well theyre certainly hurting theyre very unhappy this is going on for a very long time there are very lengthy power cuts every day and theres very little in the way of local currency as i mentioned were in a situation of hyper inflation so what little food is in markets is beyond the reach of many people but. The people of zimbabwe are very brave theyre very skilling and david youre a lot of suffering over the years but they are they are extremely exasperated by their current circumstances. Gerald burke from the World Food Program in Southern Africa speaking to us from johannesburg sir thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us thank you thank you. Now california senator kemah harris has announced that shes ending her bid for the 2020 democratic president ial race harris was once considered a front runner in the crowded democratic field but shes been overtaken by several of her rivals including Elizabeth Warren and pete budget but she was an outspoken critic of republican President Donald Trumps immigration policies that was slowing as a democratic strategist and senior principle consultant at the National Capital Strategy Group he joins me now from washington d. C. Thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera she had been doing well and she certainly made an impact in the debate so whether to go wrong for her. Well it seems like miss harris made her initial errors in choosing her Campaign Structure in the Campaign Strategists in the upper echelons of her campaign her Campaign Chairwoman was or sister who had minimal experience in running campaigns and then it was all d of her Campaign Advisers or rather most of them were from the state of california so it was kind of like the california mafia to an instant in that most of them knew each other so it proved difficult for her to make changes to the upper echelons of her campaign stand if they were necessary without perhaps starting a domino effect of resignations and perhaps people getting upset that their friend got fired or perhaps this person got moved so prove very difficult for her to remain nimble in a crowded field in a very long drawn out democratic primary it is and of course in the email she mentions specifically shes not a billionaire and that she didnt have enough money as you mentioned its a very overcrowded feel so where do her votes of the people that would have supported her who do they support now. That is the question of the hour and it proves to be a bit of a conundrum in that Camilla Harris never was able to quite define herself as a liberal or a moderate she struggled with that she struggled with the finding her position on health care she struggled with the party sharp left turn or way from her heart stance on criminal justice issues that she took as attorney general in the state of california so she was never quite able to find herself in that regard and as a result it is difficult to determine exactly where much of her support will fall there is now only one black candidate left in the race cory booker who is state themselves as. A progressive moderate so to speak and some of her support may go there i imagine that some of her support would turn towards joe biden who is leading in the polls with africanamerican support and some of the women supporters may turn towards Elizabeth Warren so it may be fractured in terms of where of all her support goes and i guess the remainder of the money goes at this point if as you mentioned one of the issues was that she didnt quite manage to define herself clearly in the campaign what do you think her Lasting Legacy will be to the democratic race so far do you think she changed the dynamic at all between the other candidates are not really. Why i think she was which she did very well in not all the debates but a few of those debates and she was able to bring up some issues and get some of the candidates to focus on issues like a segregated bus and she brought up in the 1st debate in joe bidens record on civil rights and were happy how he contributed to the mass incarceration in the war on drugs that started in the late eightys and early ninetys and that is a conversation that needed to be had in the book at a party and its very important that she brought some of those issues to light so i will say that she was able to bring some issues to the or that were very important that needed to be discussed in these democratic primaries in light of the very. Diverse ethnically in racially diverse electorate that now exist in the Democratic Party many of these issues must be discussed and its important to hash these things out in the primary that less lone democratic strategist and senior principle consultant that the National Capital Strategy Groups are thank you thank you thats saying in the u. S. That the formation trial for one of the u. S. As most high profile businessman thats mosque is underway in los angeles the owner and founder of tesla cars and space x.
